Career Closet
The Walton Career Services Closet (Career Closet) opened in August 2010 as a resource of upscale, gently used business casual and business professional attire available, free of charge, to all currently enrolled Walton College students. The Career Closet can help students with their professional dress needs whether it may be for an interview, a career fair, office visit, or on the job.

How It Works: Currently enrolled Walton College students can visit the Career Closet and take (for free to keep) up to 4 individual apparel items (i.e. 3 ties and 1 shirt, or 2 blouses, 1 skirt and a of pair shoes) per semester or 1 suit during an academic year. The clothes you take are yours to keep - for free. Career Closet is staffed by Leadership Walton participants, during regular hours of operation. Volunteers receive community service experience credit within the Leadership Walton program.
Donations: Leadership Walton students will conduct a clothing drive once a semester to increase inventory for the Career Closet. The clothing drive will focus on obtaining attire that is cleaned prior to donation, is of good to excellent quality and was purchased in the last five years/or is with current fashion. Donations are tax deductible.
